Wasn't the search tool in the upper right corner?? Sorry if I'm losing it, I haven't had much sleep, lol!! But I don't see it. Has it been moved?
What happened to the search tool?

You're looking at a different link for the search tool. There used to be a box on the right. I think it was above the advertisement. Now its gone.

Oh. I don't think I ever noticed that. I just use the other one.

Thanks! I don't think that I ever paid attention to that one! The search box is gone from my screen too.

I think that was the Google search. Wonder if it's coming back?

I think it was removed from that place to encourage subscription. Over there, it was accessible to anyone visiting the site. The "search" option between "new posts" and "quick links" only appears for members who are subscribed. Just my guess

You know I never had that experience? I would type something into that bar like 'hairveda' and it would pull up everything hairveda related within the forum, and if I wanted to specificy I would type 'hairveda + shikakai' and boom...exactly what I wanted.
Plus it would search for stuff that wasn't in the hair forum to make stuff easier for me like 'Maca' and 'eyelashes' in the body and beauty forum.
...is there anything we can do to get the google back? I don't mean to be a pain but I've tested the other one a couple of times and it's so...inefficient.

Y'all aren't giving it a chance. I find it narrows it down for me to exactly what I want:

Threads about Maca
Google would give me fewer results here and then send me outside the forum the same way Google.com would. As you can see from the above finds, I get only LHCF threads.

as a non-subscribing 'member' (issues with paypal, dont ask) i found the google search function pretty good. not once did i get directed to a site off the forum, nor did i ever change the parameters of the search - i just always got what i asked for.
since that was removed (i was offline and noticed last night) i was 'forced' to sort out my issues with paypal and i am so happy to be a 'paid-up' member. would probably have never gone to all the trouble if that search function thingy hadn't disappeared though

it isn't the same, results aren't as good, everything but what i ask for comes up, sometimes the word im searching for would be buried within posts within the thread, as oppose to being in the title of the thread. The other search bar is so on point!! grrr
erplexed what happened?

Thanks so much everyone for responding. At first I was like, "What?? No I KNOW it was there!!??" Lol!! I agree with most of you. I like the google search tool soooo much better. For me, the other one searches for each word (if that makes sense), whereas the google search tool searches for the words in sequence. To me, the google one has a better filter. I sure hope it comes back.

i preferred the other search as well.. BUT what i have been doing and it seems to have better result is doing an actual google search. whatever i may be searching for, i type in longhaircareforum in the search as well and i get far better results than the search next to quicklinks. yes, it is a little more typing but since i have a google search box on my safari browser toolbar its not toooooo much more effort. hth

also maybe it should be visible to those who subscribe and not to the guests...if that was the problem
